Hi friends! I am so excited to offer another giveaway this week and it’s only Tuesday! I will be giving away the stamps I used to make this card and all you have to do to be entered in the drawing is to leave a comment. This is open worldwide! I will pick a winner and notify them via email in one week!

I used 6 stamps to create this image and I will teach you how to use masking to make your stamps more versatile. The wagon and pumpkins are separate stamps. Knowing this technique will allow you to fill this wagon with many other items so you can use it for more occasions. I bet you have stamps at home that would be more versatile if you tried masking. I will also show you how to color this scene.

Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win. Also I’d love to know if you have a stamp you are going to try the masking technique with, let me know that in the comments too. You guys have really great ideas!

Oh, I forgot you asked about using the masking technique – yes! Inlearned that fromtiu and have used it in several cards!! I am probably going to use it with some stamps I will be making Halloween cards with this week. (I know, I should be working on Christmas cards; I’m always a little late with my projects!!🙂 (Oh, and I’m not trying to enter your giveaway twice – Just forgot this comment and couldn’t edit my other comment!)

Thanks for the giveaways you are always giving away to use. Love when you do craft videos!!! Not a painter, so sad face when that’s your day craft, but know others enjoy..thanks again for sharing and making a beautiful card!

I love the masking technique and the card! I am a relatively new stamper who collected some supplies and never really used them. I’ve recently started stamping with your stamp school videos. I have different types of stamp pads such as pigment ink, versamark, water based dye ink. You mentioned alcohol based ink in this video. I would really love to know more about the differences and what to use when.

What a beautiful card , loved it before I even watched the video.I really love this stamp set because it would be so versatile since I have so many fall birthdays and other occasions that is could be used for. I’m already thinking Spring Flowers and plants. I have been thinking about trying blending markers and pens but haven’t got there yet.
Lindsay thank you so much for always giving delightful encouragement in different ways of crafting. Yours Nancy W

Pumpkins are my favorite. We just recently remodeled our kitchen and my theme is pumpkins. I have pumpkin zentangle I made as décor and a soft pastel of a pumpkin my daughter created when she was 12, she is the creatively talented one in the family-sometimes I am a little jealous of her creative abilities. Anyway, I have recently began card making and would love the pumpkins.

Your card is beautiful! I keep forgetting to try masking stamps. I have been working on painting my Christmas cards with a big poinsettia. I think it is one of your ideas from a few years ago. I only have 31 to go! But I would love to win this stamp so when I want to try masking I’ll be ready.

What I think is that I love your posts, your talent, your obvious caring about all of us and the gift you give us with your sharing and teaching. Please know how much you mean to me/us and the wonderful outlet you provide.

I was fascinated by the way that you masked off the cart and added the pumpkins. It created a very nice effect. As always, I really enjoyed the creative ideas that you come up with for each project. It really gives me inspiration for me to do my own crafting. Thank you for sharing.

Great card! Love the process. I have some rather old stamp pads and water color pencils. I have tried the archival ink (package states acid free, dye based, archival) and it still tends to blur and smudge when it comes in contact with the water. I have let it dry for 24 hrs. Should I heat set it, or use a clear embossing powder? The latter tends to raise the image too much adding distortion and an unwanted gloss. Are all archival stamp pads suppose to be water proof or resistant?

Aloha Lindsay! Been watching you a number of years now… Enjoy your quirky sense of humor & the depth of your instruction. I especially love when you do a series – love stamp school! One day I’ll get brave and try water color painting… Then maybe even step really out of my comfort zone and try acrylic paints. Happy Crafting!!

This is one of my favorites of your cards. I know that fall is coming because I am pumpkin crazy here lately. Thank you, Lindsay, for making us feel like we can do it too”. I love these stamps, so versatile.

Thank you for all your you tubes. I sometimes watch just to laugh. You are so fun and naturally talented and hard working. I think the wagon would look great with hay and flowers, Christmas trees, Easter eggs grass with kittens or children. lots of ideas. I sure would like to win the stamps. Have a great week.

Beautiful stamp! Fall is always a beautiful with the leaves changing. I’m starting several projects, 2 birthday cards for this next weekend and 2 scrapbooks for Christmas. That should keep me busy and out of trouble! lol

I absolutely love the cards. It was so fresh and I love the stamps. Please enter me. I haven’t masked before because I haven’t been able to find the masking paper. But I’m anxious to try it. Thanks again!

Great tip re: swatching. Especially Spectrum Noir, Bic and Sharpie. Cap colors are not anywhere near close. I have done a little simple masking, but really don’t have plans for any projects including that technique right now. I hate fussy cutting, but the results ARE worth it. I don’t know why I didn’t think about taping pieces together to get a larger size. Might have saved some storage space to not have to buy multiple size pads!!! (Although I never pay full price. I have a giant brick of packs of post-its with company logos I got at Goodwill for less than a dollar for about 50 pads of 3×5 inch. I am still using some from a company that closed in 1994, but I am on the last pad! Way to go for frugal!. Is it addiction if you never pay full price????? Thanks for all you teach me.

The wagon and pumpkins are adorable!! Love them! And would love to win them.

Also, this is a good chance to tell you…. I love the fact that you remind your audience about “whatever” such as how to mask, with each video. It takes a while for something to sink in with me!!! Lol. And I was a new subscriber within the last year, and I felt right at home right away!!

OMG!!! I have to tell you Lindsay, had it not been for your card and watercolor tutorials, I probably would have given up on learning anything new. I’m learning how to watercolor paint with your help and I’m in the process of making my Christmas cards for the first time in YEARS! PLEASE sign me up to win those stamps!!!

Hello Lindsay! My name is Hailey and I LOVE to do art. I’ve watched several of your tutorials on watercoloring because watercolor supplies is the only type of art supplies that I currently have. I watch so many of your other tutorials and one day I will be able to actually do them once I can afford to get the supplies. Currently I’m doing ceramics at school as an extra curricular class and absolutely LOVE it. Art supplies can be very expensive but I’m building my collection little by little. Thank you for this opportunity of having a chance to win these supplies. It would be amazing to be able to branch out and discover new types of art and maybe discover talents of mine that I have yet to unmask. Again, thank you for being awesome and taking your time to post tutorials and other videos for people, including myself, to enjoy.
Much love- Hailey

I absolutely love your creativity! I started watching your tutorials when I was researching painting with water colors for beginners. Your many talents, creativity, and very useful tips had me hook to your channel! I would love to try masking like you did in this tutorial but I done have any stamps to try it with. Thank you for sharing your many talents with all of us!

The wagon is versatile in that you can load so many different objects in it. It makes for a lovely fall card. I have trouble using patterned background. Thanks for the video. I love watching how people color. I need to learn so much about coloring.

Thank you, Lindsay, for another fun and inspiring craft video! I had never thought of masking stamps, and can now see how useful that technique would be! I would be just delighted to win the wonderful stamps from Art Neko. Have a wonderful autumn, and a fun Halloween! Thank you, from Pamela, in Ontario, Canada

I absolutely love this tutorial! I have been watching all of them and am learning so much about blending and using color. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent. I am still a work in process, so keep up the great teaching!
Jeannie

Love the wagon and pumpkins. The colors are beautiful. Watching your videos I have learned so much. Just found out the Tonic is now making a set of 3 color dusters. I ordered them on Blitsy today. Thanks so much.

I am new to The Frugal Crafter blog, and have been a subscriber to your YouTube channel for quite some time. I vowed to be more creative & have used your channel as both inspiration & as a reference when shopping for art supplies. I am always excited to see new techniques and to learn about everything art. The masking technique was completely new to me and has motivated me to expand the ways I create. I totally look forward to your next posting. Can’t thank you enough!

I really enjoyed this video, and love the card. I have learned so much about composition from watching your tutorials. I also appreciate the tips on other methods of coloring rather than school markers. The icing on the cake of course are the buttons. Buttons rule!

I have been watching your YouTube for few years……have been inspired to express my own creativity! It would be wonderful to be picked to win these stamps. I would love to try your techniques with masking etc. . Thank you for sharing your talent so generously!😀 bj

Lindsey! I love your art and your videos. I find myself in such a happy mood after watching. Your talent is amazing on so many levels and your personality is absolutely charming!! Thanks for all you do to brighten our days!!

As always, I love your videos whether I use the medium you are teaching or not. I always come away with a bit of knowledge. Absolutely love the card. The ideas you mentioned showcase the versatility of an image. TFS

Hi Lindsay, Your card is so pretty. I haven’t done a lot of masking but this weekend I did mask N*studio’s buildings stamp in order to make buildings in front of each other and also to make the row wider. It turned out nice. I enjoyed your Craftsy class so much. Thank you for the discount you offered.

Hi Lindsay, I love this card and I think all your crafts are are so beautiful and you make everything look so easy… I’m just beginning to start making cards and paint. But it’s hard for me I’m disable. I will be watching to learn as much as I can with you. Thanks for the step by step tips see you on iTunes😁♥

Autumn is my favorite time of year and your different Fall projects have been inspiring. You make everything seem simple and possible to accomplish. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world. I’ve learned so many different things over the years from your incredible knowledge. These stamps are wonderful and the wagon one could be used in so many different projects and seasons. Thanks for giving us the chance to win it.

I watch all your videos and learned so much from you. The techniqye you use on this tutorial of finishing touches with pencil after the markers is wonderful. These stamps are very versatile, the possibilities are many. Thank so much for the opportunity to win.

Hi Lindsay I have been watching all your videos and you make it look so easy…. And you have inspired me to start to paint again after 30 years…. I’m disable and i would ♥love to win the stamps. I have 3 and those would be a grateful addition to get my collection started…… Love all your crafts. Thank you for making it look so easy. 🙃🙆😁😁😁

That ribbon is gorgeous. I’d never have dared to use the pumpkins in this manner due to their differing thickness of the inked lines, but you’ve made it work. The green on the acorns really lifts their design too, again, not something I’d have though of. Thanks for sharing.

I love autumn, pumpkins and acorns! This one is such acute homey card. The only one thing that I’m not as excited about is the acorn size compared to the pumpkin sizes, but it definitely would make anyone smile. It would be fun to win the stamps – Good luck to all!

I use Post-It’s for masking too. They work great! Even generic ones from the Dollar Tree work well. I used to cut out the stamped images entirely for masking, but now I only cut what I need to cut out which saves time. Thanks for that tip Lindsay!

Beautiful card made with a beautiful stamp set that I would love to win! I love the technique you showed, will definitely be trying it. Thanks for the chance to win…I love your channel and love that you share so much of your time and talent. Hugs Anita

Lindsay I love your videos! You’ve gotten me into the arts mood again after such a long long hiatus. I got into stamping and card making all because of you and would love to win these stamps. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how expensive materials are, even more so as a Canadian with limited access. Thanks for all you do!

thanks Lindsay, I love coming to stamp school! think i’ll try putting fall branches and leaves in an empty basket stamp.??? choosing that stamp because maybe I can color it like you did the wagon?? also have an old pick up truck??? hmmm it’s really cute and gets no action. got me to thinking…why not use this mask tech with the back ground stamps instead of putting smaller cards on top of the stamped backgrounds??? did you hear the ding?

I would be thrilled to win the stamp. You’re a continued inspiration to me. Thanks so much for the stamp tutorials and I love your watercolor tutorials as well. You have a special way of making all levels,comfortable.

Hi Lindsay! I love the wagon full of pumpkins, it’s stinkin’ cute!!! Really captures this great time of year. I want to make one just like it!. I’m new here. I found you through searching for markeying for artists. Thank you for all those wonderful videos! You’re amazing!

I love how you used the masking technique to make these stamps create such a pretty fall image. I’m also loving learning techniques on using blending alcohol markers with stamps. I had the same hummingbird set & already made a card with your help. thanks for always sharing and the giveaway!

Fall is my favorite time of the year! This stampset is so cute. I was out for a walk today in Minnesota, taking lots of pictures and I even gathered some colored leaves to press between waxed paper in a book. I haven’t done that since I was a young child.(that was a looooong time ago)

Hi Lindsay, I have been a huge fan of yours for a while. I just love these stamps. I love your ideas on saving money. I live on a fixed, very small disability income. I need all the help I can get. Thank you for the inspiration.

I have just puchased my first stamps last week so this tutorial helps me decide what to purchase next. I would love to do this wagon filled with Christmas trees for a Christmas card. Thank you for all your help. I watch all your tutorials even if it not something I would do, there still interesting and I learn something.

I loved this! I’m primarily an acrylic artist but I always get ideas for color blending and composition from your marker tutorials. You have such a wonderful sense of color! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at stamping and would love to win these.

Hi, Lindsay! I really like the stamps, and the whole project is just so cute. Your videos are so much fun to watch, and I have learned so much from you. Your enthusiasm and love of art motivate me to try new techniques. You make crafting happy!

Beautiful Fall card. Love it…this is the beginning of my favorite time of the year!! I would love to be the lucky one to win these stamps!! I am also anxious to hear your full review of the markers you are trying out from Blick!!

I usually just watch all your tutorials from my you tube app, but going through my emails I saw this adorable card & decided to watch it. So here I am at you blog page. Really liked all your ideas for the masking to get more use out of your stamps. The card of course turned out really pretty. You do such a great job on teaching. So I read something about winning some stamps. That would be really great to be able to make the card you showed. I noticed your markers were “Blick” markers. I’ll have to check those out to see price comparison. Thank you for this great tutorial, I always enjoy & learn something when I watch you. Just to let you know, I’m from Missouri. Close to Kansas City Home of the World Champion Baseball team, The Royals. So sad they didn’t get back in this year. They are a great group of guys!

I love this card! I am primarily an acrylic artist but I always learn something new about color blending and composition from your marker tutorials, and masking is a technique that can be applied to any medium. Lindsay, you have such a great eye for color and have really inspired me. i have been wanting to get into stamping and this would be a great place to start. Hope to win these stamps!

What a very pretty design. I love the masking technique so much. I have some Asian stamps I got from Rubbernecker stamps that I want to mask with. A large bamboo tree background, a lady, and some flowers. I may even put a picture on when done. If I ever figure out the computer, lol.

I enjoy watching your videos the masking technique is one I haven’t tried yet, but would love to try with some animal friends holding a banner. I love how easy you make everything look you really made the pumpkins pop in this beautiful wagon, your work is amazingly talented. I could really picture some Christmas trees/ presents in the back of the wagon as well. The spectrum noir markers are so much fun to use, however my 12 year old daughter tells me I’m not blending correctly any advice? Thanks again for another fantastic video & the opportunity to be in your drawing keep doing amazing things we enjoy watching!

These stamps are so unique and realisic. I loved how you loaded up that wagon with all those beautiful pumpkins and then added the acorns to the ground. Your artwork makes the picture complete. THANKS so much for inspiring me to push the envelope. I have learned so much from you. My favorite thing is your sweet, warm, and friendly charm that you add to all of your projects. Have a great day!

I love this card! I love your watching your videos, have a question about the markers you are using, are the a brush marker and how do they compare to topic or the spectrum? Did I miss this video lol! Thanks for the chance to win! You rock girl!!

This is gorgeous!! I would absolutely love to win these amazing stamps and give this a try myself. I’m a huge fan of your videos and can always find some inspiration from something you post. My craftin fingers are crossed for this one!! Thanks for the chance!

Love this tutorial, the fall colors and the wagon full of pumpkins. After seeing all the comments, I think I have an acorns chance in a tree full of squirrels to win these but I sure would like too. In the meantime, I’ll just have to freehand it and paint them with watercolors.
TFS, Lindsay

Thank you so much for showing us how to do the masking! That’s so cool! I just bought two stamp sets called Fronts ‘n Backs with Annie and Becky. I also bought the fence they look over and needed to know how to do the masking technique; now I know! I’d love to win, but more importantly, I’m very thankful for what you’ve taught us! ~Linda

I am currently trying to learn how to color and blend using Spectrum Noir pencils and greatly appreciate your video. I love the stamps you used and how easy you made it look! I don’t think I could make it will look as professional but will try my best!

Love the wagon….I have some peg stamps I would love to fill this wagon with flowers and whatever else I can dig up lol. I have been working on Halloween and fall cards and am having a blast…I have only tried masking one time and it turned out great…I really need to do it more and I am so excited because after watching your tutorial I realized I have a die truck that I can fill with pumpkins and I am going to have to check and see how many different pumpkin stamps I can find in my stash to see if I can do this. I am not sure if I have the right sizes. Would love to win these stamps. You give me so many ideas.

Beautiful card! I love pumpkins even though we don’t celebrate Halloween in Sweden.
I love your youtube channel and all the great projects you make. Watercolouring is probably my favourite.
Thanks for teaching us so many cool crafty things!

I love the masking technique specifically that you moved the pumpkins in different directions. I thought of filling the vintage wagon with Christmas trees and wreaths but then I thought how would you mask a horse at the front of the wagon? Its so fascinating to me to see you color how well it all blends you make it look so real. Thanks for a lovely giveaway and great techniques.

Oh boy Lindsay! I would love to have these stamps! What a beautiful fall picture they create! I love your card and the big pile of pumpkins, and really liked how you put one in upside down, just like they’d be if they were placed in by hand! So cute! Thanks for this chance to win this adorable set!!! 🙂

Love these stamps, Lindsay (this is Cindy Matthews, btw) and I can think of a dozen stamps in my stash that would work in the wagon, including some cute little kid ones. I used masking to make some items for my nephew’s wedding, including thank you cards that were an engagement gift, a guest book and finally a wedding album. I have a simple pine cone stamp that’s part of a mini set from Inkadinkado to use with their stamping gear. I made a few masks (from Post-it paper – the cheap stuff from the dollar store) and moved the stamp up and down and around and in a mason jar stamp as their sort of signature thing – they had planned to decorate the venue with mason jars and pine cones. (It was lovely) They were thrilled and it was so easy! I’ve used masks for other things but that was the most fun.

Love this card Lindsay! I absolutely love watching you color, you make it look so easy and effortless. I have recently started using masking, and I love the possibilities it has opened up! Thank you so much for all your amazing videos and tutorials. And thank you for this opportunity to with these great stamps!

Love it! I use the masking technique a lot in my card making and even in my scrapbooking sometimes. I have one cow stamp and I by using the masking technique I can stamp a herd of cows…and then underneath I have the sentiment, “Herd it was your birthday”. People are surprised that it is just one stamp and cannot figure out how its done…until I tell them.

Absolutely LOVE! these stamps they are so perfect and neat and i am new into the world of stamping and scrapbooking and would love to add some new stamps to my new collection i have! have a blessed day!

WOW!!! Lindsey those pumpkins LOOK REAL!!! I hadn’t seen anyone use the Blick alcohol markers until this video.
They are just as nice as the Copics and other brands (flow and blending wise). I was wondering; How are they cost wise????

I love watching your videos and all of your “Frugal” tips and tricks!
Thank you so much for all the videos and ideas you share with us!!!
And now a chance to win these stamps too?!?!?
….THANKS
#BigFan

I love this card. I think fall is a favorite season for a lot of us. The images of pumpkins, acorns, fall leaves, harvest moon, all help to reinforce the feeling that the long hot busy summer is over, and it’s time to slow down, cozy up to the ones we love and just renew.

Love this masking technique! I think I will try it with some feather stamps I have from ArtC, it would look so pretty😉 I would love to win this pumpkin and cart stamp set – thnk you for the opportunity!

I love how this came out and what a great idea! I don’t have a lot of stamps but I do have a mason jar one and some little bugs. I would love to try masking the bugs to fit in the jar! Thanks for the chance to win!

I really Loved that stamp set. I also enjoy watching your tutorials,I’m get so supplies and try my hand at Water Colors.I haven’t been able to do my crafts in about 10 months, my husband was very sick and we came very close to him passing away. But I’m so very glad to say he’s home and doing very well. I’ll be making our Christmas cards this year, and they are going to be very much like the cared you just did.

I Loved your tutorial. I like the way you show every step to the project. you are always so happy and you have so much energy,I’m just getting back to my crafts after a long year away from them, my husband was very sick and in the hospital for 9 months, coming close to him passing 3 different times. Glad to say he is home and doing well with his Physical Therapy. It’s going to take along time to strengthen the muscles that have are so very weak. Your You Tube tutorials helped me get through the long days sitting at the hospital making sure they took the best care of him as possible THANKS AGAIN.
Thanks Claudette

Hi Lindsay! I loved the masking technique you showed on the video. I am very new to stamping and card creating and your videos have taught me a lot of tricks. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and art with us. I would love to have the stamp set! Happy crafting!

Hello, Lindsay~ Thank you for this opportunity to win some tools and for your continued training videos. You are such an inspiration and I constantly learn some new techniques from your videos. I know you have sponsors and need to show their products, but I like the way you give product names and tell how various ones work. You are my Martha Stewart of Arts and Crafts. Thanks, Lindsay

Would love to win a set of Fall inspired stamps. Thanks so much for the chance and for helping us crafty people learn more about what we love on a budget!!! I am going to try this masking technique with what stamps I do have that will work together.🙂

Closest I could come would the Tim Holtz vintage truck-and because it’s that time of year I could fill it with skulls! Blown away by your coloring technique. I bookmarked the YOuTube so I can refer back to it.

I didn’t think I liked stamping before I found your channel (discovered because of your watercolor tutorials – love them!) But I really admire the stamp work you do. I would love to incorporate stamping with watercolor. Do you have any tutorials with that combination of methods?

As quick as I saw this card in the email I said “Oh I love it” I want that stamp. It would be my pleasure to use it for Thanksgiving cards – especially if I win. Thanks for all the great tutorials and advise.
